When Deer Park gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop heavy material into roof gutters. Spring brings oak catkins that block downspout openings, while broadleaf leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls drop in fall. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling open channels before cold weather sets in. Winter brings freezing nights and snow, which adds weight to heavy debris stuck inside the system. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to maintain proper water flow. A clear residential system prevents standing water from freezing inside metal joints during seasonal temperature drops.
